Concentric circles in daring gradients, spiraling traces, and brilliant radial motifs by Australian-Canadian artist Elspeth McLean rework stones into endlessly hypnotic designs. Impeccably organized on the flat, spherical objects, the patterns are comprised of numerous particular person dots in various sizes and hues. Having veered away from the stippling method she utilized in her earlier work, McLean refers to her model as “dotillism,” which has similarities to pointillism within the shapes it depends on, though the artist prefers to work with precise colours somewhat than layer them to supply an phantasm of particular tones.

McLean’s stones promote out shortly, so keep watch over her Instagram for shop updates.
